about

I think it's important in rock music especially, but any kind of music really, to document those fragile moments as well as all the others. Writing this song was good therapy for what I was going through at the time.

lyrics

The ones you miss, you cannot be with
To the extent you wish, unable to give
Never generate results from the plan
Just a well intentioned half a man

A heart of gold, that's never been sold
Impossible, when the engine reeks of mould
Once lost but still an undiscovered soul
As reality begins to take it's heavy toll

"I told you so" they say
As if you'd stay away
I do not commend your try
Cause you were born to die

There is no escape to make
There are no foundations to shake
A detour you cannot take
Accept it now for goodness sake

Never speak up always when you believe
Such worry at how you will be perceived
Sometimes at the expense of your self worth
Much safer being seen as down to earth

Well I'm trying to find the rainbows end
When I arrive there, all wounds will mend
Food, drink and entertainment for all
Come to me now unto you I call

Get right back up when you fall down
Don't let em stomp you into the ground
Seek it don't let it come to you
Against the odds break right on through

Speak up always when you believe
Don't matter how you are perceived
As you approach the rainbows end
Your time is now my friend

Well I've finally found the rainbows end
As promised everything on the mend
More clearly than before do I see
Rain long gone, sun shining on me

"I told you so" I say
Quitting is not the way
Scoff or smile at my attempt
Cause you were born to die
